Remark (when using the generator): You can combine the sets in any way and the generator will create a balanced deck. The names starter, beginner, and so forth merely give an indication how hard it is to play with or learn this specific set.
Background
This game idea started when I went to exercise outside, a week before Halloween, and saw that the neighbors had already placed a huge pumpkin at their front door. I scrambled back inside to write down the idea and immediately get to work. It was done (and even tested with others) a few days before Halloween.
Which meant we got to play it that night and have fun!
But it also meant it was too late to properly finish and release the game now, which is why it was published a year later. This “break” also gave me the chance to come back to the idea with fresh eyes and greatly improve some of the rules and actions before publishing the final version.
It ended up becoming a very simple game with cute art, yet many opportunities to think ahead and strategize.
Hopefully this game gives families around the world a fun activity to do around Halloween. The theme is obviously focused on it, though the game is perfectly playable on its own, any day.

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
